Following the success at the Weardale Show in St John’s Chapel, we were delighted to broaden our skills by fundraising at one of the oldest and most established Agricultural Shows of its kind held in the UK in the beautiful Wolsingham. The sun shone and that put everyone in a good mood including our volunteers for the day, staff members Fiona Todd and Chris McCabe, Newton Aycliffe Rotary Members Alan and Denise Cartwright (Past President) and two fabulous ladies from the Newton Aycliffe Inner Wheel – Gill Atkinson and Sharon Robinson.
Pat Chambers Charity Development Manager said: “The show was a great success for us raising nearly £900 and we managed to speak to so many good people who are passionate about helping us with the MRI Scanner Appeal! With other shows still coming up for us, we are desperate for any gifts, prizes or games that can be used as tombola prizes please. If it’s time for a good clear out at home, or you can give your friends and neighbours a gentle nudge to help us we would be grateful. Please contact the charity team who are based in the Trust HQ at Darlington Memorial Hospital on 01325 743781 or call Pat on 07770 455651
